Scientists released 1,400 Watson's tree frogs into the wild after 80% of their habitat burned in Australia's Black Summer bushfires. The curry-scented amphibians with baritone calls disappeared for 19 years before being rediscovered in 2015.
A stunning new photograph captures the Milky Way and three bright stars forming the Summer Triangle over Egypt's volcanic Black Desert. The image shows how pristine dark skies can reveal the universe's breathtaking beauty.
A new online hub connects people wanting to help with bushfire relief to dozens of frontline organizations needing volunteers and donations. Created by two young Australians who felt helpless during Black Summer, the platform turns climate anxiety into meaningful action.
Six years after catastrophic wildfires scorched nearly half of Kangaroo Island, Australia's beloved nature paradise is thriving again with wildlife rebounding and tourism booming. Koalas, sea lions, and rare marsupials now flourish across rejuvenated landscapes that once seemed lost forever.
The University of Southern California brought hundreds of students together for a joyful celebration honoring a century of Black History Month. Music, Black-owned vendors, and cultural traditions filled McCarthy Quad as the campus community gathered to recognize past achievements and future possibilities.
After two devastating summers of bushfires, the Victorian town of Halls Gap is bouncing back with creative new tours and winter attractions. Business owners are working together to rebuild a tourism industry that lost nearly $2 million per day during closures.
The Strawberry Moon rises tonight, marking summer's first full moon with a special sky-hugging appearance that makes it look larger than usual. Southern England has the best chance for clear viewing, with two more summer moons to come.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just solved a 30-year mystery about black holes while capturing the clearest image ever taken of a black hole's surroundings. The breakthrough reveals how supermassive black holes actually feed, changing what scientists thought they knew.
A supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy is feasting on matter just like black holes did right after the Big Bang, giving scientists an unprecedented window into the early universe. The discovery could help solve long-standing mysteries about how galaxies and black holes formed billions of years ago.
Fifty Black entrepreneurs gathered at the Anchorage Museum for the 11th annual Alaska Black Business Expo, proving their thriving community continues to grow. The event brought together an estimated 1,500 Black-owned businesses across the state for what attendees called "a family reunion."
After losing his daughter, Zappa Montag continued their shared dream of creating a Black-led ecovillage in California where people reconnect with ancestral farming knowledge. Six stewards now live off-grid on 189 acres, growing food and teaching land-based skills to Black and brown communities.
Scientists just caught a supermassive black hole waking up for the first time, firing cosmic winds at 14% the speed of light. This breakthrough shows exactly when and how black holes reshape entire galaxies.
Physicists have found a simpler way to explain how black holes behave, using ideas similar to boiling water. This breakthrough could help us understand black holes during their most dramatic moments, from birth to explosive death.
Around 100 Black fathers transformed a North Omaha street into a powerful celebration of engaged fatherhood and community presence. The march sent a clear message that Black fathers show up every day as parents, mentors and leaders.
Astronomers detected a new type of gravitational wave that could reveal what happens right at a black hole's point of no return. The discovery came from the clearest black hole collision signal ever recorded.
NASA's Webb telescope just rewrote what scientists thought they knew about black holes. The discovery revealed that feeding black holes are far tidier eaters than anyone imagined.
Astronomers are closer to solving one of space's biggest mysteries: whether black holes or galaxies formed first. New evidence suggests black holes might have been the cosmic pioneers.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered a supermassive black hole that formed before its host galaxy, flipping our understanding of cosmic origins upside down. The 50-million-solar-mass black hole makes up two-thirds of its tiny galaxy's total mass.
For the first time, astronomers watched a massive star disappear and transform into a black hole without the usual supernova explosion. The discovery in the Andromeda galaxy could help scientists find countless hidden black holes across the universe. #
Scientists just figured out how supermassive black holes keep feeding themselves, solving a puzzle that's stumped astronomers for generations. The James Webb Space Telescope captured the clearest images ever of gas streaming into a black hole 145 million light-years away.
